We had a cool ride this evening, doing a version of the Fluck Mill Ride, with temperatures in the 50s. Altogether we had 15 riders. Just the right size group. We did our usual Snoddy to Ramp Creek and regrouped at the church in Smithville. Once we got to Victor Pike we (well, all but one of us) turned west on Tramway and looped back on Rockport and Bolen before continuing back into town via Victor, Church Lane, and Schacht Road.
The main part of the ride was 23.3 miles, averaging 14.1 mph (at the rear of the group), with total climb in the 1300 foot range. Allowing for the ride to and from the church I had 26.3 miles. A nice ride!
Klaus took the following shot during the ride. As he said, "Days are getting longer and it's great to ride after a long day at work."

I enjoyed the ride last night. I have ridden all of those roads but never on the same ride. The ride climbed Ramp Creek, two hills on Rockport and then the hill on the eastern end of Bolin Road. That climb ended with a short and steep section that had me wishing I had lower gears. For as short of a ride as this was, there was a lot of climbing and a lot of fun.
